Association Between Serum Apolipoprotein A1 Levels, Ischemic Stroke Subtypes and Plaque Properties of the Carotid Artery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the association between serum apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) levels, ischemic stroke subtypes and plaque properties.
methodsWe enrolled 92 patients with ischemic stroke and 21 age-matched controls (CONT). The stroke patients were divided into three subtypes: cardioembolic (CE, n = 15), atherothrombotic infraction (ATBI, n = 52), and lacunar infarction (LI, n = 25). Carotid plaques were classified as low, intermediate, or high intensity, and either simple or mixed type. Serum lipids (total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG)), ApoA1, and ApoB were analyzed using commercially available kits.
resultsThere was no difference in TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and ApoB levels among the four groups. Serum ApoA1 levels in the ATBI group were significantly lower compared with the CONT group. Among the ATBI group, the serum ApoA1 levels in the low-intensity plaque-type were significantly lower than those in the intermediate or hard-intensity plaque-type. Furthermore, serum ApoA1 levels in the mixed plaque-type were significantly lower than those in the simple type.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that serum ApoA1 levels might be associated with the development of ATBI and plaque properties of the carotid artery.
